Loose-Lick

Loose-Lick has balanced mineral combinations that limit negative interactions ensuring optimal absorption, especially of phosphorus.

Water-resistant customised mineral lick for all ages

Loose-Lick is a dry, water-resistant formulation supplying essential vitamins, macro and micro minerals for young stock, dry cows, and lactating cows. It contains the macro minerals Calcium, Phosphorous and Magnesium to support to growth and development of calves and yearlings. It also meets the gap in mineral nutrition for cows between drying off and calving. Loose-Lick is DBC’s preference over lick blocks, because animals only need 20-30g (depending on age) a day to meet their mineral needs.

Waterproof, bioavailable minerals, no added flavourings.

Additional game-changing considerations:

If it rains, it’s not wasted. Phosphorus deficiency is heightened by feeding low mineral feeds like fodder beet on the shoulders of the seasons. For every litre of milk produced, 1g of phosphorus leaves a cow’s system. Animals that are offered little to no macro mineral supplementation must mine their own stores – this is especially true for stock grazing fodder beet. Phosphorus deficiency is associated with infertility, poor production, and poor appetite. Calves fed phosphorus deficient milk, weaned early, and then grazed on fodder beet are at a substantially higher risk of breaking their shoulders because phosphorus deficiency is directly associated with Calcium uptake.
